I’ve had a Remarkable 2 for about 2 years now and use it for hours every day. It’s the tool that’s improved my work more than anything other than a computer. My use case is probably 98% making handwritten notes and 2% marking up PDFs like resumes, short articles, contracts, etc. This seems to be the use case that Remarkable advertises the most directly. They call it a “digital notebook” not a PDF/ebook reader.

From what I’ve seen on HN and /r/RemarkableTablet is that the people who dislike their Remarkables the most are the people who buy one to use as a PDF/ebook reader rather than as a digital notebook. The experience just doesn’t seem to be as good — and that shouldn’t be surprising.
